The Queen pops down to Sainsbury’s


Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth went to Sainsbury’s on Wednesday and was greeted by Lord John Sainsbury to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the retailer.

Sir John who is the great grandson of the supermarket showed the Queen around replicas of old shops floors, from the 1950s to modern day.

She was shown how shoppers now use the self-service tills and how to pay for your shopping using a mobile phone, she did not try this but did cut the commemorative birthday cake.

The 93-year old monarch visited a pop-up Sainsbury’s in Convent Garden, London.
